Alfa Laval Inc.

Alfa Laval Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor supplying specialized heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling equipment and maintenance services to federal maritime and research agencies, competing exclusively on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across its prime portfolio.

Alfa Laval delivers fuel oil purifier servicing, repair, parts, and troubleshooting for Coast Guard vessels; desalination plants (Aqua Blue evaporator systems) for Naval Support Command ships; centrifuge decanter maintenance for wastewater treatment facilities; and biomedical separation systems for research agencies. Recent representative work includes a $283,746 purchase order from Military Sealift Command (January 2024) for an Aqua Blue C125-HW-FS flash evaporator desalination system for the USNS Harvey Milk; a $231,800 purchase order from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (August 2022) for a separation system for single-use cell culture processing; and a $149,554 purchase order from the National Park Service (September 2022) for a centrifuge motor control panel at Yosemite's El Portal Wastewater Treatment Facility. Across its recent contract footprint, Alfa Laval has received one Total Small Business set-aside designation (a $15,240.91 Coast Guard fuel oil purifier service contract in January 2026) and one Total Small Business set-aside solicitation that was not ultimately awarded (a $17,959.04 NOAA parts procurement in April 2024), but the overwhelming majority of awards carry no set-aside.

Customer concentration centers on the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for 817 awards (74% of all awards) with $4.4 million in combined potential value—a portfolio largely composed of standard parts and equipment distributed through its supply system rather than customized engineering. The Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command ranks second with 52 awards ($1.3 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard with 43 awards ($721 thousand combined potential value). Alfa Laval serves 30 distinct federal agencies across its footprint, but the DLA-Land and Maritime concentration is heavily skewed toward high-volume, low-dollar-value transactional purchases. When ranked by potential value rather than award count, the Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command emerges as a meaningful third customer with 3 awards carrying $1.4 million combined potential value.

Alfa Laval places work primarily under two indefinite delivery contracts: Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM76000D7445 (665 task orders, $4.4 million combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract SP076000D7445 (155 task orders). These vehicles anchor most of the DLA distribution work. Additional parent vehicles include Basic Ordering Agreement N0010476AA021 with the Navy (3 task orders) and smaller IDCs with the Army and DLA.

Award activity has remained steady but modest: three awards in 2022, five in 2023, six in 2024, five in 2025, and three in the first four months of 2026. The combined potential value of recent awards stands at $9.2 million across 1,099 total prime awards since 1981, but obligated dollars total $21.1 million—indicating that actual invoiced performance exceeds stated potential values. Alfa Laval operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the federal award data; the company appears to serve as a direct supplier of manufactured goods and factory-authorized maintenance rather than as a systems integrator or program manager.

Alfa Laval's federal footprint reflects its core business as a manufacturer of specialized maritime and industrial equipment. The top product categories span electrical apparatus and equipment merchant wholesaling (665 awards, primarily DLA distribution), mechanical power transmission equipment manufacturing (156 awards), and ship building and repair (40 awards). Within procurement service codes, centrifugals and separators dominate (369 awards), followed by miscellaneous power transmission equipment (219 awards) and pumps (181 awards). This portfolio alignment indicates that Alfa Laval competes on the strength of its OEM brand and technical specifications rather than on proposal complexity or system integration capability. The company's subsidiary Tranter Inc. is also listed in the corporate structure but carries no distinct award visibility in the source data.
